My parents went to my kids soccer games this weekend and I ended up talking about the presidential campaign with my dad a bit.

My dad (for those of you who don’t know) recently retired from being a political science professor (for 41 years…). According to him, pretty much the only way McCain has a chance at this point is if we get into a war — and even then it’s not a done deal.

That being said, a lot can happen between now and election day, but if I were betting, I’d bet on Obama at this point.

I’m watching the debate.

In pretty much every profession, experience is useful. In national politics, the people with experience have been elected and work in Washington D.C. While it’s understandable that people would have negative feelings toward government, I’m heartily sick of people running as outsiders who are going to change Washington D.C.

I am especially sick of this from people who have been in government for years.

That’s all.
